# H3RETIK Cloud Probe Session

> H3RETIK Cloud Probe Session is a paid API for AI agents from h1dr4.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.6/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Rents a 15-minute disposable VPS compute session for lightweight agent tasks like web/API checks, on-chain probes, package installs, and shell command execution, billed at $0.60 USDC via x402 on Base.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability h3retik-cloud-probe-session-dd3a7406 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Spin up a disposable H3RETIK Probe session in the US region and run a curl check against https://api.example.com/health, then return the response body and logs — I need a fresh ephemeral shell for just 15 minutes and I'm fine paying 0.60 USDC.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a truly disposable, short-lived compute environment for lightweight tasks (under 15 minutes, under 10 actions) and want to pay per use in USDC without committing to a monthly VPS or cloud account. Ideal for privacy-first execution, agent pipelines needing a clean IP, quick on-chain probes, API health checks from remote regions, or OSINT workflows where persistent infrastructure is undesirable.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance on Base causing session not to provision
- Region unavailability causing fallback to auto-proximity or session rejection
- Command execution timeout within the 15-minute window returning partial logs
- Action limit (10 actions) exceeded mid-job truncating results
- Network unreachability from the ephemeral VM to the target host
- Invalid or unsupported shell commands returning non-zero exit codes

## How this service works

H3RETIK Cloud rents disposable VPS sessions for autonomous agents and operators. Pay per short compute window on Base USDC with x402, choose US/EU/Asia/auto proximity, run headless shell commands or scoped jobs, collect logs/artifacts, then let the machine expire. Useful for ephemeral server rental, agent compute, privacy-first command execution, web/API checks, on-chain probes, audits, OSINT workflows, crawler runs, and batch research without a dashboard or monthly VPS. Package: Probe (15 min / 10 actions / 0.60 USDC). Short-lived headless server for lightweight investigation, package installs, web/API checks, on-chain probes, and follow-up command execution.

## Output

The agent receives execution logs, stdout/stderr output from shell commands, any collected artifacts or probe results, and session metadata (region, duration used, expiry time). The session is automatically destroyed after 15 minutes or 10 actions, whichever comes first.
